You cannot run glibc-2.1.* with a 2.4 kernel. They are incompatible in
a number of ways. Either downgrade the kernel to a 2.2 or upgrade glibc
to a 2.2. In general, it isn't a good idea (unless you're a kernel
hacker) to run anything more advanced than what appears in the
appropriate updates directory on update.redhat.com. It surprises me
more than a little bit that the system works well enough to do much of
anything on it!
